Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until they are tender but not mushy. Drain the cauliflower and let it cool for a few minutes.
Once the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it’s finely chopped, resembling rice or couscous.
Transfer the chopped cauliflower to a large mixing bowl and add the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into tater tots. You can make them cylindrical or barrel-shaped, as desired.
Place the shaped tater tots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the tater tots in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
While the tater tots are baking, heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. You’ll need enough oil to cover the tater tots partially when frying.
Once the tater tots are done baking, carefully transfer them to the hot oil and fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the fried tater tots from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the Keto Cauliflower Tater Tots with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sugar-free ketchup or ranch dressing.
